Richard Bruton
Question:56 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the unreliability of the cat scan machine in a hospital (details supplied) in Dublin 1 which gives rise to a waiting list of ten months which results in many patients being forced to pay for a scan in the Mater Private Hospital in order to overcome this alarming delay in gaining access to a basic diagnostic procedure; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
